Emitting signal from a non-Qt Thread

[anda_skoa]

I think in this case it is easier to just call the slot via QMetaObject:.invokeMethod(), i.e. no need for an intermediary "emitter" object.

QMetaObject::invokeMethod(receiver, "takeData", Qt::QueuedConnection);

QMetaObject::invokeMethod(receiver, "takeData", Qt::QueuedConnection);

You can even pass arguments that way.

True, thanks.

Anyway, the problem was at another point of the program entirely and prevented it from starting the even loop in the first place, which is why my signal / slots would not connect. Solved now.
